Countries With The Highest Murder Rates In The World

2. Venezuela

Although known for being one of the largest oil exporters, Venezuela is known for another, but not so good thing – a high rate of homicide. This South American country is struggling with many problems such as poverty, inflation and economic crisis, but a major problem is killing of people. Last year, in 2017, only 19% of the population felt safe. The reason for such a low percentage is that 53.7 people out of the 100,000 in Venezuela will be killed.
